OAK HARBOR – Police arrested the man believed to have vandalized the restrooms at Veterans Park prior to Memorial Day weekend last month.

Justin Blauvelt, 21, of Elmore, is charged with criminal damaging, a second-degree misdemeanor, and faces up to 90 days in jail or a $750 fine.

Village administrator Randall Genzman said damage was estimated at $1,500 and the restrooms were closed for a week.

According to the Oak Harbor Police Department, a tip received via social media led police to question Blauvelt, and he confessed to a patrolman about having committed the vandalism.

Blauvelt reportedly smashed concrete from the nearby shelter house throughout the restrooms at Veterans Park on May 21 and started small fires using aerosol cans and the paper dispensers, causing a closure of the affected area.

The vandalism did not interfere with Memorial Day activities at the park. Portable restrooms were set up while the building was undergoing repairs.

On Facebook, the Village of Oak Harbor thanked all of those who helped with the investigation by providing information to police.
